Peter has a fix for this here <https://github.com/boostorg/build/pull/509>.
Since.. (a) there where no plans to make a new b2 release before 1.72 (b)
the problem is limited to those "expert" users with custom version-less
toolsets (c) and regular users will almost certainly not run into this (d)
and I definitely not have the time to make a release -- of any kind -- for
the beta. Hence I'll work slowly to create a b2 4.0.1 patch release
possibly for next week.
